Welcome to the world of Matt Berry, life will never be the same.
or sane ;-)
that man is a bloody legend, even makes good music too!
A greatly underrated comedy genius. Toast of London is brilliant.
He really needs to react to Darkplace
Blue spruce!
@@davidz3879 Can you hear me Glenn Fandango?
Welcome to the era of Douglas.
He will be challenging Moss as your favourite character. ❤
Matt Berry is a comedy genius.
"You there, computer man. Fix my pants!"
Likely not Queen Boomer. She adores dead-pan expression and dry delivery of Moss. Douglas too theatrical in contrast. King Boomer might though.
I always think that Matt Berry tries too hard as the boss. I prefer Denholm as the right character for the show. He just seems a better fit for the comedy.
i wouldnt be so presumptious, calm down
Matt Berry is such a great replacement for Chris Morris, Douglas is such a good character
Morris & Berry are both great in other roles as well.
Douglas is an awful character, he is all that is wrong with British business culture and should never have been put in charge of a major business.
@@paulmidsussex3409it’s taking the piss you muppet so yeah he is definitely a brilliant character
@@paulmidsussex3409That's kind of the point of his character
You realize it's a comedy right? @@paulmidsussex3409
I was upset that Denholm died, but then, Douglas appeared, and all was good with the world again. Love him, Matt Berry is hilarious 😂
If I remember correctly, Chris Morris (who played Denholm) didn't leave because of money, but because he's sort of a "restless ass", meaning that he's a creator who enjoys doing lots of things so it was not a big surprise to see him go at the end of s1 to pursue new things to do. Douglas is a great character but I've always missed Denholm 😢
Chris Morris was extremely famous before this show even went out, this wasn't ever going to be an important source of income for him. He was probably just helping friends out and walked when he realized it was going to be a big time commitment.
Chris Morris probably started working on Four Lions after this. As far as I know, IT Crowd is the only thing in his career where he's played a substantial role in something that's not his own creation.
What I heard was they wanted Douglas but he was tied up so Chris Morris being a friend or something said he help so they not delay filming too much and when Douglas was free from commitment, Chris Morris went to another project or commit he wanted to do as S1 of here ended read for it or something like that
Apparently he lives a very reclusive personal life outside of work, has no social media and very rarely does interviews.
@@dj71162 unsure on last one but feels like Moss life
I read Graham Linehans book. He said Matt Berry was first choice for Denholm but couldnt proceed at the time due to other work comittments.
Chris Morris agreed to do season 1 until Matt could take over.
One of the directors commented on Chris Morris coming into the show saying they were lucky to get him. He is officer class.
When Roy screams "I'm NOT F'ing joking" twice it kills me every time!
You noticed Neil's dad as the vicar but missed Will's mum as the widow
After Jay's dad being in the last episode we now only need Simon's mum and dad to complete the quadfecta.
Chris Morris, who played Denholm is a *major* comedy legend and his own stuff is worth a whole series of reactions in itself. If you want to see the darkest and weirdest comedy ever, check out "Jam".
Getting him for just a season was a major coup. It was about this time his career as a producer in Hollywood was kicking off too. Don't worry though, you're not *quite* done with him, and Matt Berry is a superb replacement.
Why'd you put lizards in your telly?
@@GilesArt van me to the fens
The day that Kilroy Silk lost his mind lives rent free in my mind, Jam is INSANITY
Blue Jam
@@jamiefrostick4059 Go on! Do it! Shit your leg!
Matt Berry is a national treasure, he is hilarious and an extremely talented musician. Garth Merenghi’s Dark Place (which also stars Moss) and Snuff Box are also great shows.
Matt Berry did voice work for the Spongebob movies and he was the voice of 8D8 in The Book of Boba Fett. But as another character he's brilliant in What We Do in the Shadows (TV series) as the vampire Leslie “Laszlo” Cravensworth. Also star of the comedy show Toast of London.
@@Psybx ...as my very favourite V.I.P. (talking) pig. . . . --|=|% .
Toast of London is funny. He also did House of Fools with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer.
"BAT"
You can still hear him on Absolute Radio.
Fun fact Denholm's wife is also Will's Mum in the inbetweeners.
Belinda Stewart-Wilson
She also plays the new Denholm's wife in a later episode
Slightly less fun fact the same actress plays Douglas' wife in a later season too, was she married to both of them or are we meant to forget she was in this episode?
@@Lones555 Same actress, different characters. Man About the House & Not Going Out did likewise.
A great introduction to Matt Berry! Another one for your list is 'What we do in the Shadows' - three vampires (all played by UK comedians, including Matt Berry) are living 'normal everyday' lives in New York. Co-written by Taika Waititi (Marvel). Chris Morris - legend - The Day Today, Brass Eye, Jam and the film - 'Four Lions' - a comedy about terrorists? Yes. And crows.
Fuck, not enough people know about how amazing "Four Lions"is! "Why is she covering her face?!!!" ".....Because she's got a beard..."
Chris Morris (who, remember, you saw on Brass Eye) left during this series not because of money, as he’s never been known for greed, but simply, because he is primarily a writer and director, he just had too much work to do, such as creating his satirical movie Four Lions and directing several episodes of Veep.
Besides, as a writer and director he’s happier behind the camera because, as you’ve read here, Chris is actually quite shy, rarely gives interviews and has been described of as a hermit.
Supposedly Matt Berry was meant to be the boss from the start but was unavailable for the first season so Chris Morris stepped in last minute as a favor, and felt the right thing to do was for him to bow out once Berry was available.
That’s the greatest ‘bowing out’ or all time!
He created four lions??? I never knew that that’s amazing!
Matt Berry has done a lot of voiceover work, especially in the UK for advertisements and radio. He's just got such a magnificent voice.
Matt Berry in Toast Of London would be very much worth reacting to.
I'm Clem Fandango. Can you hear me?
Now Matt Berry's in the show the IT Crowd just hits another level, the character Douglas steals literally every scene he's in. :-)
I was furious too when he died ... he was a force unto himself ! But his son grew on me over time and I love them both !
As much as you miss, Denholm, I'm certain that Douglas will become your new favourite character. The scripts and the uniquely awesome way that Matt Berry delivers them will have you in stitches every time. Graham Linehan wanted Matt Berry in from the start but but he was busy on another project. Chris Morris stepped in and, of course, nailed the Denholm character but, again, Matt Berry will blow your comedic socks off. :)
This is where this programme takes off in my opinion. The marvellous Matt Berry in full effect.
You can also find his music on Acid Jazz Records.
Chris Morris is notoriously uncomfortable on camera and generally only appears in things he's written. It was unusual for him to be in this in the first place and I suspect he told them at the time "if this goes into a second series you need to write me out".
He actually came to IT Crowd to help, to fulfill "the son's" role (as the actor was in another production and was who the director wanted from the start).
Once this actor ("the son") was free, he parted his way to his own work (which, some say, he's restless).
😅
Bless king boomer, he finally gets a grasp on how to say Reynolm properly, after several episodes and many people breaking it down for him in the comments etc and the character proceeds to Chuck himself out of a window 🤣🤣 that in itself is comedy gold
Brilliant. This is the one I have been waiting for.
I could say that for pretty much any episode of this show
The old boss was great - the new boss is absolutely amazing
Chris Morris is a pioneer of his craft, a true legend of comedy and satire. So influential and important. He has always led the way taking risks to achieve great things.
The jump out the window will never NOT be funny. Just how casual he is about his suicide, the tiny push of the window and the hop to his death, XD
Moss(repeatedly types, stares at Roy, then types again)
Roy:"You LOOKED. You KNOW! YOU KNOW WHEN I'M GONNA DIE!"
Moss:"I do, yes."
Roy:"I TOLD YOU NOT TO LOOK!"
Moss:"I made a MISTAKE!" XD!
Jen: "You look terrible. Are you ill?"
Roy:"....I don't know!"
Moss:"Dead man walking!"
Roy:"Very funny! You crazy little bastard!"
"DEATH....is coming...death is HERE." That is the best funeral speech ever.
"FaaaaTTTHHHHHEEEERRR!", the headlong run, the pushing over the casket and the slapfight KILLS me.
Every time you expressed your love for that character, I was like "ooh, you're in for a shock!"
Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade were also in Garth Mergengi's Dark place too 👍
They wanted Matt Berry from the start but my understanding is that he couldn't do it due to other commitments. So, Chris Morris stepped in to do season 1 and the plan was always for Matt Berry to take over from season 2 onwards.
Came here to say this
Who asked
@@ITPFS Just scroll on then.
you are correct,matt berry is a voice actor aswell.Think he voiced a droid in the book of boba fett series on disney+
So did Moss/Richard Ayoade(but for "the Mandalorian").
"Thats disturbing" trypical american response 😂
Ladies and gentlemen, its only upwards from here.
MATT BERRY (DOUGLAS) WAS IN "TOAST OF LONDON" "TOAST OF HOLLYWOOD" and the best "WHAT WE DO UN THE SHADOWS" COMEDY SERIES GOING INTO 6TH SEASON.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Welp, since you are about to discover the comedy genius of Matt Berry (the "Golden Child") then you might as well check out "Toast of London". Seems right up your alley!
Yes, TOL is brilliant!
And Darkplace :)
I really like this channel, but you need to stop questioning why things happen. It's very American to think everything has to happen for a reason, and there's a lesson to be learnt. In British comedy, things can happen without any explanation, but that's comedy. It's a break from the restraints of real life. It's also very on character that Denholm jumped without a second thought. Just let things happen and laugh.
"Salve" is for greeting individuals. For greeting more than one person it's "Salvete!" (similarly Vale and Valete for bidding farewell to individuals and groups)
Mat Berrry and Richard Ayoade wrote and preform in a series "Garth Marenghi's Darkplace" (A horror spoof) which is where you may have seen him before .
Matt Berry did a series called 'Toast of London' which you might check out some time.
In it he plays a jobbing actor and voice over artist & the show has some great moments.
I heard Denham's actor was too busy to continue being in the cast. I think he continued to support behind the scenes though.
I heard he took it for S1 to not delay filming but as Matt Berry was in a commitment and they really wanted him from the start but Chris being a friend picked to do this to help them film on time and after Matt was free Chris went on to other stuff he was committed to do
"Denom Renom, i finaly got that right" ... well i have bad news for you about knowing names of characters xDDDD
The Actor is a big star and even having him 1 season was nice
also his name is "Chris Morris" you might wanna google how he looks xD i never saw an actor look more different real life and in a tv show xD
honestly if he would be black it would be more closer xD
I was also crushed when Denholm left but Matt Berry turned out soooo funny I soon forgot.
Douglas Reynholm is played by Matt Berry! He is in the hilarious tv series What we do in the Shadows!
Matt Berry steals nearly every scene he's in!
Chris Morris the actor that plays Denholm had a show called brass eye that you should check out
Can't wait to see you react to the next episode. The first time I watched the first scene, I laughed so much I thought i was going to have a heart attack.
One of the most enjoyable things about watching your reaction videos is knowing what you are about be see in advance in the full knowledge that it will take you by surprise. Never has a character been taken out of a show in a funnier way. And you aren’t alone, he was one of my favourite characters too. On the plus side the “ prodigal sons” takeover will not disappoint.
I cannot believe we as fans of your show tried to persuade you to give it a go and a short dip in left you cold. The characters develop and in many ways improve in their own roles too as the series goes on. Absolutely they have to be watched in sequence. The whole thing is unique, different, a joy to watch and every one of the characters went on to arguably bigger things after the show.
So enjoy, you have discovered a gem for sure and happy new year to the growing Boomer clan❤
“he’d make a great American”…
Immediately jumps out of the window.
Perfect timing.
"Denholm had to be killed off due to Morris' unavailability because of his work on other shows. However, Morris found the time to briefly return in a scene in the first episode of the third series, 'From Hell.'"
What a great series ahead! 🙌🏼 perfect timing on a Sunday to sit and chill
Matt Berry is hilarious in What We Do In The Shadows
"Douglas" is also in "What we do in the shadows".
I'd forgotton how funny The IT Crowd was!
Denholm is my favourite character too, he left us wanting more when he was killed off. Apparently this was because the actor Chris Morris just wasn’t available after the first episode of Season 2, because of his work on other projects. It seems Chris is as restless and energetic as his screen character, and also pretty wild in real life; in his earlier career his radio career got the chop for being too controversial, and it happened again with a TV show he was doing. Apparently the bosses at the BBC just weren’t ready for him! Denholm Reynholm responding to the police inquiry into his company’s pension fund by calmly walking over to the window and jumping out from the top floor is an image that will stay with me forever.
Chekhov's gun is a narrative principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed. For example, if a writer features a gun in a story, there must be a reason for it, such as it being fired some time later in the plot.
Chris Morris is a legend of British comedy and it was a real coop for them to cast him as Denholm. I imagine they must of known it would only be a one season deal when they cast him.
Check out The Day Today, Jam, Nathan Barely or Brass Eye if you want to see more of his work.
Yup - you nailed Denholm Reynholm . . . Just in time for him to die 🤣🤣🤣
The greatest exit, and entrance, in comedy history?
Matt Berry - Has done a lot of comedy. Toast of London , What we do in the shadows and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (funny)
The guy who played Denham was Chris Morris, a British comedy legend, creator of The Day Today/Brass Eye plus some amazing movies he's written and directed.
If you wamt more Chris Morris, yen check out Brass Eye and The Day Today.
My understanding is that he had other things he'd helped write that he was committed too, so when the show got recommissioned after its first season, he had to bow out.
But his time as Denholm Renholm was hilarious. Douglas (Matt Berry) was an excellent replacement.
Also, when King Boomer asks 'whats in the water here?' ive been to Florida, and im well aware that the answer is 'Gators, snakes and snapping turtles'. 🤣🤣🤣
Not just Neil's dad but Will's mum as Deynholm's wife!
everything happens for a reason, unless it's a Seagal movie. Then it just happens to get you closer to that magical 90 minute mark,so he can pick-up his paycheck.
Matt Berry is also an accomplished musician, he has a number of albums out and he plays every instrument on most of them
they are ... an aquired taste :)
Lol at the phone chat. There are other manufacturers and P.S. I agree with your dad, avoid Apple or they'll lock you into all their products forever 😅
Matt berry. Voice actor and has his own show toast of London .
He is also in what we do in ths shadows
Matt Berry is a favourite UK comedy actor - check out Garth Meranghis “Darkplace”. He has also done a few Hollywood movies ans is also in the US version of “What we do in the shadows”. In amongst all that - he is also a talented musician and singer with his own band. Chris Morriss ( Denholm ) - is also a god of comedy over here - he has written a lot of stuff , deeply dark stuff - The Day Today , Jam etc.
Since you watched the first episode and loved raynholm, I couldn't wait for you to see this ep
Inbetweeners connections: Yes it is 'Neil's Dad' - (Alex McQueen, who also does a great turn in The Thick Of It) as the vicar and also Will's mum (Belinda Stewart-Wilson) as Victoria Reynholm, the grieving widow of Denholm Reynholm. Of course in the previous episode with the theatre we saw Jay's dad (David Schaal) driving the minibus.
Can't believe they missed Will's mum!
@@GortonImathey still have another chance to spot her
23:35 I didn't find it readily in the comments, but what you are looking to say is to quote from google
"Chekhov's Gun is a narrative principle where an element introduced into a story first seems unimportant but will later take on great significance. The principle postulates that any seemingly unimportant element introduced into a story-an object, a character trait, a backstory, an allergy-should later have relevance."
So it's not quite a rule, but it would be considered bad storytelling to introduce and focus on an object that has no later significance to the story. (Unless I suppose it's a red herring, but even that would be somehow referenced later)
Though, the subversion makes for better, more realistic storytelling.
The Matt Berry debut. Now you *have* to watch Garth Marenghi's Dark Place.
Matt Berry now steals the show. The private exercise club episode is epic! Matt also has a comedy shows of is own, the Toast of Londow is very funny and is about voice-overs funnily enough!
And now you can say he name ....hes gone! 😂
Matt Berry what we do in the shadows...Brilliant
Douglas is the greatest character in the entire history of tv ✌️🏴
Only Chris Morris could make eating an apple funny.
Chris Morris (denim) is a massive comic in his own right, I presume he had other stuff on. He's famous for a mock news program called "brass eye", and he makes great films too I recommend "4 lions"
Douglas won't disappoint you. In a future episode called Bad Boys that scene with Ben Genderson - honestly, I must've watched that a dozen times recently - it always cracks me up. "Let the revels begin!" 😆
Checkout ''The Day Today'' with Chris Morris [ Denholm Renholm ] The reason he left the show at the time was probably to direct the film ''Four Lions.''
douglas is the best character on this show hes hilarious!!!
"Maybe he makes cameos as a ghost" Naww something that crazy won't happen on a serious show like IT Crowd 😉 I believe at the time Christopher Morris was just a bit busy to continue with his role in the series it wasn't a case that he left over money or disagreement or anything. After all he was in this episode to play his role in departing 😁
Douglas is a great character, give him a couple of episodes and you will see what I mean.
Congratulations, you got Denholm Reynholm's name right. Just in time for this episode 😅
Ah, the era of Douglas Renholm is upon us.
A brilliant character that adds a whole different comedic vibe to the show. Matt Berry is ace is whatever he does and his voice is so distinctive. I love his work in 'Toast of London' and he's also a talented musician with several albums of which my personal favourite is 'Witchazel' but one of my favourite songs is 'Medicine' from his 'Kill the Wolf' album.
Yeah it’s Neil’s Dad, and that was also Will’s Mum!
6:04 motorola's razr were perfect, I had one in high-school and it looked and felt amazing
"FATHER"....Is my ringtone... Matt berry is a genius.... Watch Girlfriend sketch ...
You missed the very last thing that Douglas was said at end credits, you would have collapsed in the floor lol
Matt Berry did voice characters from tv shows and movies, but no games uptil know. He is credited as Software engineer or part of Technician team with some.
I wanted to say before, but I had a feeling that you were finally going to get the name right just as he was written out and you haven't disappointed! This sort of natural comedy timing is a joy to see. :)
"Have you ever had a kid throw a lizard at a teacher? That happened, like three times"
Chris Morris, who played Denholm, is an incredibly intelligent and well-respected satirist, writer and director here in the UK, known best for creating and presenting the acclaimed satirical current affairs shows The Day Today and Brass Eye. He also directed the film Four Lions, which I cannot recommend highly enough. I was actually astonished when he popped up in The IT Crowd because he is _such_ a comedy legend. So Chris definitely wasn’t written out of The IT Crowd because he wanted more money (lol) or anything like that. As others have said, he actually agreed to do the first season as a favour to Graham Linehan, who was a writer on The Day Today way back when.
You guys should check out Brass Eye if you have the chance - it’s pretty dark but absolutely _hilarious_ and you’ll be astonished by what they managed to get away with on network television. To say it caused controversy at the time would be an understatement!
(Incidentally, Richard Ayoade, who plays Moss, is a talented writer and film director as well. Check out his movie The Double - an adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel of the same name, starring Jesse Eisenberg. It’s very good.)
The lizard story made my night 😂😂😂
Welcome to Matt Berry. A national treasure in Britain. Check out everything he is in…The Mighty Boosh, Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place, Toast of London and What We Do In The Shadows are all great
Queen boomer is right . In our school in Ireland when I was 13,14 or 15 there could be 5 to 10 people sharing a cigarette in the toilets during classes 😂😂
Neil's dad from Inbetweeners was this episode and playing Denholm's wife was Will's Mum from the Inbetweeners too.
Chris Morris left for prior work commitments. You have to remember that almost all of the people who worked on shows of that time had crossed paths with each other with great friendships gained. You may or may not see him again one day...
Matt Berry (Douglas) is fantastic and has been in many many shows of his own. He used to be in The Mighty Boosh with Noel Fielding (Richmond). I saw the live version in my home town many years ago and it was fantastic. You should check out The Mighty Boosh. If you like oddball humour then that's about as odd as it gets. 🤣🤣
Also if you like Star Wars and watched the series Boba Fett, Matt played the voice of the robot 8D8.
Check out Matt Berry in "year of the Rabbit" Cockney detective in Victorian London....Elephant man is hilarious 😁
Did I hear a “fucking hell” (during the playing of the tape) like in Father Ted? 😂
You would be correct. Matt Berry comedy stuff aside has done a lot of voice acting. Loads of UK commercials. He was even the voice of a droid in the new star wars stuff. Madalorian I think. Moss has also been the voice of a droid in star wars. Cant remember which one. Might have been the Obi Wan series. I'm sure someone here will correct me.
Chris Morris who played Denholm is only 12 years older that Matt Berry who plays Douglas.
